"In order to serve the vast number of wizards and enable everyone to conduct transactions more conveniently and avoid frequent meetings and bargaining, I have specially launched Xianyu.com for everyone's convenience!"
“Our mission is to make it easy to do business anywhere in the world!”
"You heard me right, the first three days of item appraisal are free, no charge. I said, no charge. I'm not interested in gold galleons!"
"And you just need to tell me the second-hand items you want to sell, and I will write them on the trading board for you for free, so that interested sellers can see them and then trade them. There is no middleman to make the difference!"
"Of course, I suggest you bring the things over, I will appraise them for you, and then there will be a guarantee. Let the sellers rest assured that we will bear the compensation if there is any problem! If you make a mistake, it means we are not good enough. We should be punished! "
Ted stood on the small bench, looking like a Southern MLM master, full of passion and impassionedness, and heightening the atmosphere from time to time:
"Do you agree?"
"Where's the applause?"
"Understand the applause!"
He had unknowingly activated the effect of the goodwill spell to the maximum, and even his words contained a hint of psychic power, making his words even more touching.
Soon, someone was eager to ask about the price, "Um, how do you sell that waterproof and moisture-proof cloak? Is it 80% new? Can I take a look?"
Ted's eyes lit up. Due to lack of manpower, there was no way to arrange care. Fortunately, such a kind friend!
"Don't worry, if there is a quality problem, we Xianyu.com will pay 100% compensation. It's a waterproof cloak, come and see~" Ted took out a dusty cloak and sprayed it with clear spring water, and no water stained it at all. .
"Because you are our first customer, I make the decision and give you a 20% discount, and we will pay the cheaper part to the seller!"
"By the way, do you have a necessary need for this waterproof cloak? We don't recommend that you make impulse purchases and buy things you don't need."
Maybe it was Ted's face that worked, maybe it was his smile, maybe it was his voice, maybe it was his suggestions for the sake of the customer. Anyway, this customer felt very comfortable.
He nodded: "Because I am going to Bergen, Norway, for a business trip next month and will stay for at least two months. Bergen, as you know, is also called the city of rain. These two months are the time when it rains the most. By then I can't bear to see a few sunny days in a month and a dozen waterproof spells a day. It would be a lot more convenient if I had this cloak."
"Ah, you really need a cloak like this, so that you don't get wet, or all your magic power is used to cast the waterproof spell. Did you see the price? If it says 20% off, it's 20% off. 2 Galleons and 16 Sickles. Take it. .Wish you good luck on your business trip!”
After a bit of cheating, the customer happily bought the cloak and left happily.
When other people saw it, they were immediately moved and came up to ask. Some asked me if I could put something in my house up for sale. Some people asked if there was anything, but they didn’t pay attention to it for me. I found it useful!
You see, this business opened up all of a sudden!
In the afternoon, Ted asked Ansu to deliver a message to Jerry, asking him to come to Diagon Alley after he settled at home. He had work arrangements for him!
…
The settlement that the Ministry of Magic placed for the demi-humans was at the border of England and Scotland, in a place called Livenkel.
There is a mountainous area, a village composed mostly of demi-humans located in a remote mountain valley.
After all, demi-humans all have some special appearances, such as Jerry's ears, Gufu's horns... so they are not suitable for living with Muggles.
When Livenkel was first established, the Ministry of Magic's monitoring was very strict, and Muggle expulsion spells were placed. They were worried that demi-humans would come into contact with Muggles, thus violating the Secrecy Act and leaking the existence of the magical world.
The definition of a Muggle in the Muggle Expelling Curse is very clear - an ordinary person without magical powers.
Therefore, demi-humans, Muggle-turned-vampires, werewolves, etc. are not considered Muggles.
For example, Squibs are not considered Muggles and will not be affected by this magic.
Ansu is now very big, with a wingspan of 1.5 meters, he is already a giant. Flying so fast!
Starting from London, it took three hours to cross half of the country and arrive at Livenkel.
It was also the first time for it to come to this place, shaking its head and looking around.
It wasn't until Jerry untied the letter from its lap that he remained calm for a moment.
"Thank you Ansu, I must be exhausted from flying here from London. Eat something!" Jerry handed over his treasured biscuits.
Jerry opened Ted's letter, read the contents, and suddenly became excited.
At this time, a female voice sounded outside the door: "Jerry, is someone here?"
Jerry shouted from the door: "Mom, it's a letter from my friend, Ted, I told you!"
The door was pushed open, and a woman in her thirties walked in. Like Jerry, she had a pair of big plush round ears on both sides of her head.
Although Jerry's mother is young, her face always looks tired.
In the past few years, the Asian people were in a bad situation, and their family had no backbone, so their life was really difficult.
This is why Jerry wants to work in Diagon Alley.
"Mom..." Jerry whispered, "I want to work in Diagon Alley, and Ted said he could help me find a job. I can live with him in the room at the Leaky Cauldron, and I can come back one day a week to visit. you."
Jerry's mother touched his big ears and said with a look of reluctance, "But you just came back."
"I want to help you, Mom. I can help as much as I can!"
"Okay, okay. Jerry has grown up and become a wizard. If you leave at night, I will prepare something for you and use the fireplace in Uncle Puli's shop..."
In the afternoon, An Sufei came back.
As soon as he got into the window, he started to complain: "I'm so exhausted, I'm so exhausted! Gaga gah~"
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Ted took out a few pieces of beef jerky for it to eat. "It's really far to get to Jerry's place!"
It was also thanks to the fact that Anzu was a magical creature and his magic level was not low, otherwise it would still be a question whether he could fly back and forth in one day.
Ansu puffed up his chest and said, "It's not that far, but I had a fight with an eagle on the way. I was very tired! Gaga~" He then combed his feathers and took out a beautiful long tail feather.
Ted had a headache on his face: "How come you act like a bandit and fight wherever you go? We must be harmonious, not violent!"
Ansu pretended not to hear and jumped up and down on the table, "Jerry said he would come in the evening, from the fireplace to the Leaky Cauldron! Gaga~"
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Ted had been waiting by the fireplace in the bar.
There was a soft "bang", the green flames flashed in the fireplace, and a small figure looked out.
"Hey! Jerry!" Ted closed the book in his hand and went to pull Jerry who appeared in the fireplace.
"Hi, Ted, are you okay?!" Jerry looked happy, and his wonderful working life was about to begin~
In the evening, Ted bought a lot of delicious food, and even took Jerry to visit a Muggle cheese shop and bought several kinds of cheese.
It was Jerry's first contact with Muggle society, and he was shocked.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, he followed Ted and stared at everything around him, just like Jerry going to town in Tom and Jerry.
The next day Ted took Jerry to Mr. Giggs' pharmacy. "This is my good friend Jerry. He is busy at this time, so he can come and help."
Because the herbal medicine business was extremely busy this year, Ted introduced Jerry to Mr. Giggs.
After all, he still has a lot to do and can't help in the store for a long time.
Just like Ted, Jerry had to start by learning the simplest processing of medicinal materials.
However, the salary is much higher than Ted's at that time. After all, he is already a Hogwarts student and has a foundation in potions and herbal medicine, unlike Ted who was a complete blank slate.
Ted's main task became processing high-grade materials and brewing potions.
Ted can already brew some commonly used potions with high sales volume instead of Mr. Giggs. You can also earn dozens of experience points a day.
In addition, Jerry also has another part-time job, that is, the first receptionist of Xianyu.com.
When Ted is busy with other things, he is responsible for receiving customers who come to sell or appraise, or come to shop for goods.
Jerry was quite shocked by Ted's "salted fish net" the size of a table. What kind of operation is this? !
Ted has already mobilized the only connections he has. Not only the old things that Mr. Giggs doesn't need, but also the rags in Old Tom's basement, Ted has repaired them and put them up for sale.
There are also the Weasley twins and Harley. Ted also writes to them to see if there are any second-hand goods at home that are not needed and use them to compile data.
Ted even needs to find some high-quality and cheap things by himself in various second-hand stores, buy them, and then sell them on Xianyu.com.
Mainly just for quantity.
When Antarctic Goose first started, didn't Brother Ma also pretend to be a girl and chat online to attract customers?
Besides, for a "high-magic technology enterprise" like Xianyu.com, first make a lively PPT to attract attention. This is all basic operations.
In just a few days, Ted identified five or six high-end items, and two were even recognized by the system as red quality!
It’s on the same level as the pseudo-philosopher’s stone he wears around his neck!
It's just that they are family antiques, just for appraisal. The classic scene of picking up leaks was not performed.
Tad earns experience points for appraising high-end products like this. Although it's not much, usually around 10 to 8 points, it's not bad, and it's not in vain.
And during this period, Ted unexpectedly harvested two magic materials that he could use.
Thanks to the book friend "The Unparalleled Wit" for the 500-point reward.
Thanks to book friends for the 100-point reward of "I put away my knife and plant flowers to see the world" and "No sugar added, reward".
Thanks
